• In fact English has adopted words from almost every known language in the course of its historical development.
• As summed up in The Encyclopedia Americana: “…The English language has vast debts. In any dictionary some 80% of the entries are borrowed” English is supposed to have the most copious vocabulary of all the language in the world, estimated at more than a million words.

(P95)A.Grammatical meaningGrammatical meaning consists of word-class and inflectional paradigm.1.word classMorden will be marked as an adjective,mordernize as a verb and mordernization as a noun.2.inflectional paradigmto walk,walks walked,to write,writes,wrote,writtenB.Lexical meaning1.denotative meaningThe denotative meaning of a word is its definitin given in a dictionary.It is that aspect of lexical meaning which makes communication possible.2.connotative meaningThe denotative meaning of the word mother is female parent but it generally connotes love,care,and tenderness.3.social or stylistic meaningFormal,informal,neural4.affective meaningAffective meaning is concerned with the expression of feeling and attitudes of the speaker or writer.3、How do we classify words by level of usage?(p11)mon wordsCommon words are words connected with the ordinary things or activities necessary to everyday life.For example,the repeated telephone calls only annoyed me but made my sister angry.All the words in the sentences are common words,and so this sentence could be used in both speech and writing,and on formal or informal occasions.2.literary wordsLiterary words are chiefly used in writing,especially in books written in a more elevated style,in official documents,or in formal speeches.3.colloquial wordsIn contrast with literary words,colloquial words or expressions are used mainly in spoken English,as in conversation among friends and colleagues.Tom felt so dog-tired he hit the sack early.(colloquial)4.slang wordsA slang usage is not generally used in informal conversation.5.technical wordsTechnical words refers to those words used in various specail fields.4、Make a tree diagram to arrage the following words in order of hyponymy.foodmeat vegetable fruitbeef pork mutton cabbage(卷心菜)spinach(菠菜)celery(芹菜) apple orange peach 5、Cite ONE example to illustrate what grammatical meaning is .1.word-class2.inflectional paradigm六、问答题(20分)1.The word “accident” once meant “an occurrence, an event”but it now means “an unplannedor chance event with unfortuante consequences”Analyze which type of change in meaning this belong to,why?Then list and explain the types of word-meaning changes.1.判断类型2.neutral word …been degarded into …3.four types 先罗列类型,然后分别解释并举例(每一种形式举一个词即可)举例形式参考The word “accident” once meant “an occurrence, an event”but it now means “an unplanned or chance event with unfortuante consequences”A.restriction of meaning (specialization)Restrition of meaning means that a word of wide meaning acquires a narrower,specialized sense which is applicable to only one of the objects it had previously denoted.The word “wife” once meant “woman”but it now means “married woman,in relation to her husband”B.extension of meaning(generalization)Extension of meaning,the opposite of restriction,means the widening of a word’s sense until it covers much more than what it originally conveyed.The word “picture” once meant “a paining” but it nows means “painting,drawing ,sketch ofa work of art;photographs and movies are also included”C.degeneration 衰退of meaning(pejoration 贬低)The two main forms of degenration are:1.The falling of word meaning into disrepute名誉坏,for one reason or another.Words oncerespectable or neutral [ˈnju:trəl] may shift to a less respectable ,or even derogatory [diˈr ɔgətəri] meaning.The word “silly” once meant “blessed and happy”now means “foolish”2.The second form of degeneration “may take the form of the gradual逐渐的extension to somany senses that any particular meaning which a word may have had is completely lost”. Lovely attractively or admirable beautiful now means it is used in collocation with almost any object ,such as a lovely girl/day/weather/dinner/car or chair.D.elevation高度of meaning (amelioration改善)Fond foolish now means tender and affectionate。

Introductory Remarks
• Definition: An English idiom is a group of words with a special meaning different from the meaning of its constituent words. In another word, An idiom is a fixed group of words or a single word, or even a sentence, with a special meaning that cannot be guessed from its structure. It is an established form, one that has been accepted by traditional usage . As such, the component words, word order and meaning of each idiom should be learned as a whole.

Associative meaning
– Associative meaning(关联意义) is the secondary meaning supplemented to the conceptual meaning. It differs from the conceptual meaning in that it is openended and indeterminate(开放性和不确定性). It is influenced by such factors as culture, experience, religion, geographical region, class background, education, etc. – Associative meaning comprises four types: connotative meaning, stylistic meaning, affective meaning, and collocative meaning.
• E.g. ‘go, goes, went, gone, going’ possess different grammatical meaning. But they have the same lexical meaning expressing the process of movement.
• However, there is a small group of words that can be described as motivated, that is, a direct connection between the symbol and its sense can be readily observed.

张韵斐著《现代英语词汇学概论》——解析第一部分Chapter Ⅰ英语词汇的概论(A general survey of English vocabulary)Bloomfield 1933 中对词的定义是,每个单词都是最小的自由词。
然而这个定义不够全面,存在着缺陷。
首先,不是所有的单词都可以独立出现,如the ,a ,my 这些单词单独出现则没有具体意义。
另外,Bloomfield的定义侧重在于语法(syntax)却没有涉及到词的意义。
随着词汇学的发展跟完善。
人们给词下了较为完整的定义。
“词,今指语言组织中的基础单位,能独立运用,具有声音、意义和语法功能。
”(《辞海》1984(上)375页,上海辞书出版社)一种语言中所有的单词汇集起来便构成了该语言的词库。
纵观英语的发展历史,我们可以知道,大多数的英语词汇都是外来词,它从拉丁语,法语和希腊语等语言中汲取词汇,不断的扩充自己,为己所用。
特别是第二次世界大战之后,英语词汇得到了空前的发展。
现代英语词汇快速发展的原因主要有四方面。
一是科学技术的快速发展,二是社会经济的全球化,三是英语国家的政治和文化变化,最后是其他文化和语言对英语的强烈影响。
英语词汇是由各种不同类型的单词组成,而这些单词有着不同的分类标准。
根据词的起源可以分为本族语和外来语;根据使用水平可以分为普通词汇,文学词汇。
口头词汇,俚语以及科学术语。
基础语库的基本特征是具有民族特征,稳定性,构词的能力和搭配能力。
第二部分Chapter Ⅱ到Chapter Ⅳ英语词汇的形态结构和词的构词(Morphological structure of English words and word-formation )(一) 词素(Morphemes)单词是有词素(morphemes)构成的。
词素即英语语言中有意义的最小单位,同时具有声音和意义。
单词可以有一个或一个以上的词素组成。
如:nation 是一个词素,national有nation+al 两个词素。
词素跟音素(phoneme)不同,词素必须同时具备声音和意义两方面,而音素只需要发出声音即可。
如k 和u 只是音素,因为它们没有什么具体含义。
而a 和i 分别存在于单词tame 和time 中是音素,但当a是定冠词和i表示第一人称时它们则是词素。
词素并不等同于音节(syllable ),因为音节并没有什么具体含义。
如单词dis·a·gree·a·ble有五个音节却只有三个语素(dis + agree + able )。
词素有不同的形式,同一语素的不同形式即语素变体。
词素可以分为自由词素(free morphemes)和黏着词素(bound morphemes)。
自由词素可以单独成为单词,而黏着词素则必须要依附于其他的词素,如-ly , -ness。
词素又可以分为词根和词缀。
词根是单词中表示含义的成分,可以是自由或者黏着词素。
词缀只能是黏着词素,它又可以分为屈折词缀(inflectional affixes)和派生词缀(derivational affixes )。
屈折词缀跟语法有关,派生词缀又可以分为前缀跟后缀,这都是构成新单词的重要元素。
从词素的层面来说,词可以分类为简单词,复杂词以及合成词。
词素在词的构成中取到非常重要的作用,因为构词的二大过程----合成和附加都涉及到了词素,前者是词素的联合,后者是黏着词素附加到自由词素上。
(二) 词的构成(word-formation)1/5页有很多种途径可以构成词汇,大的方面主要有合成法(compounding),派生法(derivation)和转换法(conversion)三种,小的方面主要有八个过程,分别是首字母法(acronym),混合法(blending),截短法(clipping),专有名词(word from proper names),逆构法(back-formation),复制法(reduplication),新古典法(neo-classical famation)以及混杂法(miscellaneous)。
词根、词干和词基是语言学上一个词删去所有的词缀后剩下的那部分。
词根是一个词主要意义的承载部分,是不可以再分的;词干是能添加屈折词汇的词素,即一个词被除去屈折词缀所剩下的部分;词基是所有能添加屈折词缀的词素。
例如:Nationalities词根nation词基:nation 是national的词基national 是nationlity的词基词干:nationality由二个或者二个以上的词基组成的词叫做合成词。
在现代的英语词汇中,许多词都是合成词。
在英语中没有一个正式的标准可以用来给合成词下个通用定义。
一般来说,语言学家用三个标准去规范合成法。
一是正字标准法(orthographic criterion )可以是词与词之间不留空,这种较为常用,如airtight 和airmail ,也可以是用连字符连接起来,如air-conditioning ,也可以中间留空,如air force。
然而有些时候是很难用标准去判断用什么形式,因为有些相同组合的单词是可以用以上三种不同的形式存在,如airline ,air-line 和air line 都是表示航线的意思。
第二是音学标准(phonological criterion),根据重音的位置从短语中识别合成词。
第三是语义标准。
纵观许多合成词,我们可以发现很多词的意思跟构成该词的词基有关。
如workday就是a day for work 。
但是,并不是所有的合成词总是该词每部分词基意义的总和。
例如,dog days 是指每一年最热的日子,而不是指“狗日子”。
合成词又可以分为名词合成词,形容词合成词和动词合成词。
由于合成词具有简短却能很生动的说明问题,故合成词汇广泛的在生活中出现被使用。
派生法也是英语的主要构成法。
它通过在词基上增加前缀或者后缀从而构建新词。
前缀以否定前缀(negative prefixes)un-, in-, im-, il-, ir-, non-, dis-, mis-, mal-等为主,使延伸出来的派生词变成反义词。
可以分为名词派生词Balance→imbalance;形容词派生词Accurate→inaccurate;动词派生词Agree→disagree;除了否定前缀之外,其他常用的前缀还有anti-, auto-, bi-, co-, counter-, de-, ex-, inter-, mono-, post, pre-, pro-, re-, sub-, super-, trans-, tri-, ultra-等。
加上前缀后的词,虽然意思改变,但词性保持不变。
(en-除外,象able 形容词,enable动词;courage 名词,encourage动词)相反的,加上后缀的词,不但词义有些改变,词性也完全不同。
这样一来,动词或形容词加上适当的后缀之后,可以得到名词派生词,如:amaze→amazement;kind→kindness.同样的,名词或动词加上适当的后缀,便可以得到形容词派生词,如:commerce→commercial;depend→dependent. 最后,名词或形容词加上动词性的后缀,可以得到动词派生词,加上副词性后缀(仅限-ly),则得到副词派生词,如:fright(名词)→frighten(动词);modern(形容词)→ modernize(动词);beauty (名词)→beautify(动词);year(名词)→yearly(副词);quick(形容词)→quickly(副词)。
转化法是由一个词类转化为另一词类,例如water(名)水-- water(动)浇水。
有大量动词可以转化为名词,有时意思没有太大变化,这类名词常可和一动词构成短语,表示一个动作,如:have a look ,make a study 等等。
有时意思也有一定的变化,如:He was about the same build as his brother. 他的体形和他哥哥差不多。
其中build本是动词“建筑”,在这里是作为名词“体形”的意思。
也有相当多名词可以用作动词,许多表示物件的名词可以用作动词来表示动作:Have you booked your ticket? 你的票订好了吗?Who chaired the meeting? 谁主持会议?形容词可以转化为及物动词和不及物动词。
形容词转化为名词,分为部分转化和完全转化。
2/5页第三部分ChapterⅤ到ChapterⅨ词义及其语义关系(Word meaning and sense relations)(一)词义和语义特征无论是在语音上还是拼写上,一个单词的象征跟它的意思的关系在任何的语言中几乎都是任意的常规的。
只有少数的单词的象征跟其含义有直接的联系,这样的词是有理据。
从理据的观点来看,大多数的英语单词都是不理据。
理据主要分为三方面,语音理据(phonetic motivation)、词法理据(morphological motivation)和语义理据(semantic motivation)。
语音理据的单词也叫做拟声词(echoic words or onomatopoeic words)。
很多的合成词的含义是根据语义的,但并不是所有的合成词都是如此。
例如单词Indian summer的意思就不是它表面的含义,而是“小阳春”的意思。
单词的含义是由各种内在联系和互相依存的部分组成,其中最主要的两种词义类型分别是语法意义(grammatical meaning)和词汇意义(lexical meaning)。
其中语法意义由词类(word-class)和屈折范例(inflectional paradigm)组成,决定着一个单词在句子中所处的位置;词汇意义又分为外延意义(denotative meaning or conceptual meaning)、内涵意义(connotation meaning)和社会或文体意义(social or stylistic meaning)以及情感意义(affective meaning)。
单词含义的分析通常被视为是一个把单词的含义分解为它的最小的成分,也就是单词的语义特征或者是含义成分。
如:man:﹝+human+adult+male﹞。
语义成分分析有利也有弊。
主要的优点是使人对单词的含义产生确切的认识,缺点是人们不可能列举出无限多的语义特征。
(二)一词多义和同音异义(polysemy and homonymy)一词多义是指一个单词具有多种含义,辐射式和串联式这两种重要的单词发展过程导致了一词多义现象的出现。
